Insider: 50 Cent Was BANKRUPT Before The Vitamin Water Deal - MediaTakeOut.com™ 2008


INSIDER: 50 CENT WAS BANKRUPT BEFORE THE VITAMIN WATER DEAL
 







August 07, 2007. Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's hit song I Get Money is one of the hottest songs out now. In it, the platinum selling rapper brags about all his riches. But according to a person familiar with 50 Cent's finances, a few months ago he was singing a different tune.

The insider told MediaTakeOut.com that earlier this year, 50 Cent was facing a serious cash crunch. Our source explains, "[50 Cent] was bleeding cash. Between the [50,000 square foot] Connecticut mansion and him financing the lifestyles of the dozen or so members of his entourage - he was spending millions."

And touring, the leading source of income for the platinum selling artist, wasn't bringing in what it should have. The insider tells, "Because of the size of [50 Cent's] entourage and the amount paid out for security - he wasn't making the money that he expected."

As the expenses started to add up, 50 Cent was on the verge of a crisis. The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "It wasn't that [50 Cent] was broke. He had plenty of assets - just not a lot of cash ... Eventually his accountants advised him to start selling [some of] them off."

And sell is exactly what 50 Cent tried to do. Despite the difficult real estate market, he put up his Connecticut mansion for sale. He also sold a number of his luxury cars. And according to the source, he was exploring the idea of selling his interest in G-Unit records.

But before the platinum selling artist had to sell even one item, he was bailed out. Earlier this year Coca Cola announced a $4.1B cash offer for Vitamin Water - an "enhanced water" company which 50 Cent owned a minority stake. The deal, which closed in June, netted the rapper millions in cash.

50 Cent made a fortune in the deal. Our source told MediaTakeOut.com, "I've seen estimates that 50 Cent's take in the Vitamin Water deal was somewhere between $100M and $400M. I can tell you from first hand information that he made in the neighborhood of $40M." And the insider adds, "The $40 million in cash was more than enough to get him out of his predicament. Hopefully he'll manage things more wisely in the future."

Since the deal closed, 50 Cent has taken his Connecticut mansion off the market. He's also taken all but one of his luxury cars off the market. The rapper's silver Lamborghini is still up for sale here.

    standard
    50's attitude is why i don't like him. I can' wait for his career to b over already. He was on 106 & Park the other day, acting like he is ish. He even called out Kanye West, who's another one i don't like but Kanye's flow is fire right now. Both their albums r coming out on the same day and 50 called out Kanye to come on 106 9-11 when they albums release for like a debate. Kanye even said other then Wayne he's the hottest rapper out right now. 50 talks about the samething in every song, he's not and never been original

    COSIGN W/STANDARD....most of fifty's hits are about gangstas, pimps or his corny azz sexual double entendre (i.e. magic stick, candy shop, amusement park). I can't take his arrogance sometimes. At least Kanye's topics are diverse, although he's just as, if not more, annoying.

    Guilty_Pleasure
    I don't know how true this story is, but when No Cents himself talked about the large sums of cash that he gives to his entourage I had MC Hammer flashback. These guys seem to think the money is never ending and that the can actually afford to pay for the luxury items for any number of "friends" who will certainly be ghost when their sponsor goes broke.

    I ALWAYS LOVE THE INSIDER... BUT IF YOU CHECK YOU FACTS, 50 MADE FORBES LIST 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 YEARS; ONE YEAR HE BEAT JAY-Z AND PUFF IN TOTAL EARNING FOR THE YEAR (2005) IN (2004) HE MADE 70MILLION FROM HIS ALBUM SALES, TOURS AND CLOTHING LINE, IN (2006) HE MADE 55MIL FROM HIS ALBUM SALES, TOURING, CLOTHING LINE, REAL-ESTATE INVESTMENTS AND FROM VITAMIN WATER DEAL.. FORBES STATED THAT HE WAS THE ONLY RAP ARTIST TO REACH THE 100MILL IN 4 YEARS SPAN OF TI ME...... SO YOU INSIDER MATH SOUNDS WAY OFF BASE....

    1) G.R.O.D.T SOLD 15MIL, 2) T.M. SOLD 10MIL WORLDWIDE. 3) BULLET PROOF VIDEO GAME SOLD 10MILLION COPIES (WHICH HE GETS 45% OFF THE TOP), THE MOVIE GET RICH OR DIE TRYING MADE 65MILL (WHICH HE GETS 25% OFF THE TOP) IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE MUSIC BUSINESS, YOU WOULD KNOW ABOUT THE TERM "ESCALATING ROYALTY RATE" WHICH IN TERMS MEANS... ONCE AN ARTIST REACHES A CERTAIN SALES POINT, HIS ROYALTY RATE DOUBLES OR TRIPLES, IN HIS CASE BOTH OF THOSE ALBUMS WENT DIAMOND WHICH MEANS HIS ROYALTY RATE FOR THOSE ALBUMS WAS ANY WHERE FROM $3 TO $3.75 PER ALBUM

    Vitamin Water taste good and it's healthy, it gives a set of Vitamins depending on the brand you buy, Formula 50 gives me a dose of C, E, B3, B6, B12 & B5, I defintely need the B12, but besides that, 50 is making a killing and the dude made over 400 million on the deal.

    The insider explained to MediaTakeOut.com, "It wasn't that [50 Cent] was broke. He had plenty of assets - just not a lot of cash ... Eventually his accountants advised him to start selling [some of] them off."

    SOME OF YOU ON THIS BOARD ARE SHOWING HOW BROKE YOU ARE. The Forbes list measures asset wealth (i.e. how much you're worth if you sold everything you have) NOT CASH Wealth.

    The article says 50 ran out of CASH not ASSETS. Those of you that have more than just 1 9 to 5 and a checking account can understand this.

    I love Kanye, I don't think he has an arrogant attitude he just does not allow folks to talk to him any old kinda way. GOod for him! As much as I love him and as much as I will be buying his album on 9/11, I still think 50 will sell more albums than him simply because the lil whyte kids love 50 sooo much and they represent a large portion of the audience buying rap music right now. Go figure . . . back in my day (the 80's) whyte kids "stayed in their lane" and listened to rock and heavy metal. YEAH I SAID IT!!!! AND WHAT??!!

    the man went diamond plus with 2 albums (more in sales that jay z's 10 albums collectively), gunit clothing, 4 homes, reebok deal all before vitamin water was broke or struggling? yeah whateva

    for the record, connecticut house is sold and he has other homes in addition to the 2 he wants to buy in london and atl. get a grip mto. beyonce and 50 must have really pissed yall off to come up with all these lies
     

    cmhs
    La la la wait till 50 get his money right.... head azz. 50 been got his money right. i will believe this when 50 on BET or MTV talkin bout "yeah i was broke as hell even thought i had movies, selling albums, a game, books, clothing line, and other stuff." I kno rappers front about havin alot of money, but 50 dont have to really front, cuz he made a mint wit his ringtones alone. he got like a couple mil alone off his ringtones i think. but i need hard hittin proof, i need 50 himself, buck, yayo, someone from tha camp to say "yeah he was broke b4 vitamin water". SORRY MTO I NEED MORE

    SexyKimmie
    I don't believe this is true. He even has a clothing line that's selling well in most of the country. He probably spends too much money but that doesn't mean he's broke.
     

    sorryIdontwantu
    I can believe it. I don't think he was broke, but probably spending more of his money than he expected.

    Forbes tends to estimate your worth before TAXES! So what ever money Forbes reportedly stated, cut that amount in half.

    Then add up all the money he shells out to his ridiculous entourage, bodyguards, and baby momma.

    Then add up all the bulls hit luxuries he likes to buy that don't appreciate, but depreciates. Like cars, jewelry, clothes, furniture, etc.

    Living in Conn. alone, you pay taxes on everything you own. House, clothes, cars, food, etc.

    What other reason would he have to put his house on the market and then take it off? That's usually the first sign when someones money is starting to get a little tight.

    Whoever thinks that you are a damn fool and whoever hating on 50 cent go a suck a dick okay 50 cent never got broke and they are lying the reason why he sold tha house in connecicut is is because who never spent any time in the house he was so busy so if you guys are going to make up a story at least make up one better than that now

    hahahahahaahahaha 50 wack a@* was broke stuntin like he had money

    i was typing so fast but I meant to say the reason why he sold that house is because he was never spending any time in it anyway so that's why he sold it but don't lie like that I hate when people lie damn
     

    ChynaRedd1
    This COULD be true. He probably wasn't completely broke. He had assests like the house. But all the stuff he was paying for adds up.

    A lot of artists will say I have this and that and I'm worth this much... but the real question should be HOW MUCH DO YOU OWE. And taxes are being taken out of their money also.

    LOL 50 learned his lesson and closed his wallet. No more G-Unit freeloaders.

    This could very well be true. Rappers, except for the select few, are not very smart with their money. They are usually broke. Seen Fat Joe or Fabolous lately? They sign a deal for a few albums and usually spend the money b4 the last album in the deal is made. The Vitamin Water deal for 50 is probably the only thing he takes home without people taxing him like crazy.

    You know what i'm not going to stoop to you little boys level first of all bitch if you must know I am already successful and I am not a 50 stan I was just letting it be known why is it that black people are the first to put there color down if you do it i hope you don't expect too much from the whites because you are doing it. Like i said and I will say it again I met 50 and he is so nice and cool I don't have to explain myself to no one up here i'm way to much classier for that. And beef how you look beefing with a girl but you want to call 50 wack oh please you are trying to start mess with me for nothing all because i have my own opinions and i don't have to agree with everybody else that's not my style i'm a leader not a follower i steer my own ship okay. And you keep talking about 50 is a hater what 50 hated on it's seems to me you the one whose hating like I said and I will say it 5,000 more time instead of sitting here hating you need to do more than deliver a package you need to go to college or get yourself a honest job i'm through with this conversation I don't care what you say about me because it don't even matter to me because I know who I am and what I stand for. You can call me a bitch or whore it don't matter because things like that don't bother me a bit but while you calling names I still hope nothing but the best for you brother unlike yourself I don't put my color down. I got more better things to do so have a good life whomever this prefer to.
